So I'm trying to search for a given phrase in text, already tried different methods e.g match\_phrase/query\_string but I still get invalid results.

Let's say we have such documents with titles:

1. "This is a phrase"
2. "Another doc with some phrase"
3. "Something with phrase and some text"

My input phrase would be: "ome phras" which should find record #2 but no other.  
So my question is how do I find given phrase anywhere in the given text?

Thanks
